Sky surfing is an advanced form of skydiving that involves a small board attached to the feet, allowing participants to perform spins, turns and aerial manoeuvres during freefall. It requires a high level of skydiving experience, body control and technical skill, and is typically undertaken only by experienced jumpers under controlled conditions. When taken part in abroad, sky surfing is a non-professional activity carried out for recreation rather than competition.
ActivitySure can cover sky surfing when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level, provided all activity requirements are met. Due to the complexity of combining freefall with board control, participants are usually required to hold recognised skydiving qualifications and to take part through approved operators or training centres. Having appropriate travel insurance in place is particularly important given the heightened risks involved.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go sky surfing?
Sky surfing is most commonly offered in destinations with established skydiving infrastructure and specialist coaching. The United States is a key location, with several drop zones offering advanced training for experienced skydivers looking to develop sky surfing skills. The United Arab Emirates is also known for high-quality skydiving facilities, where controlled jump environments, professional instructors and modern aircraft support advanced disciplines such as sky surfing.
Participants typically travel specifically to these locations to undertake structured training or development jumps rather than casual experiences.
Here's why sky surfing travel insurance matters:
Sky surfing combines freefall skydiving with the added complexity of a board, increasing the risk of instability, loss of control or equipment-related issues. High speeds, altitude and reliance on specialist equipment mean that incidents can result in serious injury and may require specialist medical treatment. If you are injured while sky surfing abroad, travel insurance helps protect you financially if you need emergency medical care, evacuation or repatriation.
Helpful travel tips
- Use only approved equipment and carefully check board attachments, harnesses and release systems
- Follow all instructions and guidance provided by instructors and drop zone staffJump only in suitable weather and wind conditions
- Abort the dive if conditions change or safety concerns arise
- Ensure your experience level and qualifications meet the requirements of the operator.
